Before EUGENE A. WRIGHT and ALARCON, Circuit Judges, and FONG,* District Judge.

In light of our decision in Hemphill v. Kincheloe, No. 89-35825 + (9 th Cir. March 3, 1993), we find that the prison officials are entitled to qualified immunity as a matter of law. Based on this finding, we reverse the district court and order judgment in favor of the appellants.
